Featured Reviews

Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement
I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
 

Cons

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"The policies could be more precise, and Singularity should use more templates like alternative solutions have. Endpoint management is poor. We cannot manage individual endpoints and must rely on policies, exclusions, or block lists to apply settings to a group instead of the individual agent. If I have to make settings for one computer, I need to create a group, apply the configuration, and move the agent there. It's challenging to manage endpoints that way."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"The price is affordable."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
